The defect
Some of these vehicles are equipped with a throttle housing on which the throttle valve shaft retaining nut was not sufficiently tightened.
The risk
If the nut were to loosen, movement of the throttle valvecould be impaired, resulting in the vehicle being unable to decelerate when thegas pedal IS released.
The remedy
Those throttle housings with suspect manufacturing codes will have the throttle valve shift retaining nut torque tested, and those with insufficient nut torque will be replaced.
